Hi and welcome to the forum,

It's still early in the day, Redmond time, and it might be available for you later on today.

As it's a roll out starting with the very newest machines (the last one's that sold with W10) and working backwards, depending on the age of your PC you may not see and update for possibly weeks. My advice, if your machine meets the requirements of W11 then don't wait, install from the ISO released yesterday

We are all waiting for the update !!

I don't think it has anything to do with how new your machine is because mine is only a few months old !! And still waiting !!

It's just 10AM in Redmond and usually updates come later in the day.

About the upgrade to Windows 11

Our launch approach to Windows 11 leverages the well-established systems and processes used for the 1.3 billion Windows 10 devices we have shipped and serviced for over five years. We will use a measured and phased process in offering Windows 11 as we have done with Windows 10 feature updates. Our objective is to provide you with a smooth upgrade experience. We will begin to offer the upgrade to eligible new devices first1,2. Then, as with previous rollouts, we will study device health data and other signals to determine the pace at which Windows 11 is offered via Windows Update.

Over time, we will make Windows 11 available to existing (in-market) devices based on hardware eligibility, reliability metrics and other factors that impact the upgrade experience. If you have a Windows 10 PC that’s eligible for the upgrade, Windows Update will let you know via the Windows Update Settings page when it’s available. We expect all eligible Windows 10 devices to be offered the upgrade to Windows 11 by mid-2022."

Well it is 13:16 and I am in the RP Channel and have the ISO. If I do not get it at 13:30 I will remove myself from the IP and use the ISO. :thumbsup:

BunnyJ · Oct 5, 2021

I'm in the beta channel and I plan on staying here until the end of the year. I'll wait for the updates, if any come today. Build .194

I'm in no rush, after all I've been running 11 on my system One for months so I know it will be fine.

Now that I've imaged it back to W10 I'm more interested in seeing how the upgrade through Windows Update performs. I'll just wait patiently until WU offers it. Anyway, I always have System Two and plenty of VMs to play with :wink:

hsehestedt · Oct 5, 2021

As noted, the upgrade is rolling out in waves. Microsoft says that not everyone will be offered the update until mid 2022 as Bree's post above noted. If you are in a hurry, simply grab yourself an ISO image and run setup

I used the ISO and all it did was bring me back to 22000.194 but at lease I am now out of the IP.

jvickers · Oct 5, 2021

I had blue screen errors with .194, so I uninstalled the update and chose to skip it. The final release hopefully will update me when it comes. I'm pretty patient. I've waited this long. I don't leave the house often, so fear of an accident taking me out before I get the final release is pretty low.

Unless a plane or meteor crashes into our house! No telling what that would do to my home owner's insurance!
